Fictional Holidays

We’ve all got our favorite holidays. Some of us prefer the costumes and candy of halloween *cough*ThatsMe*cough*, some prefer the sweetness and of Christmas, or the cold fresh of New years, others still prefer the swim parties of Independence day.

Even our favorite fictional friends have their favorite holidays. Each world, some sharing our holidays and cultures– others not, has something to celebrate. Perhaps we should merge these worlds. Perhaps these celebrations are best left seperate. Perhaps the point is simply that we celebrate and find joy in our world. NO matter which world you live in, there is ALWAYS a degree of joy to find and celebrate. In case you are still looking for that joy, here is a list of what some of your favorite fictions have found celebration worthy.
